Allegations: Gavin Hardin

Nevin Shapiro said this photo was taken in his
VIP section on the night of Oct. 31, 2008, during a Halloween party at
Cameo Theatre in Miami Beach. From left to right are Eric Moncur,
Shapiro, Gavin Hardin and Randy Phillips.

• Drinks and VIP access in nightclubs. On one such night, Shapiro
said he was accompanied by Hardin, Eric Moncur and Randy Phillips to a
Halloween party at Miami Beach’s Cameo Theatre. Shapiro said he
attended the party dressed as the character “Brad ‘B-Rad’ Gluckman”
from the movie “Malibu’s Most Wanted.” The booster said Hardin, Moncur
and Phillips were dressed as the bodyguard characters from the movie,
and that the foursome racked up a bill “in the thousands” on drinks in
their VIP area.

• Drinks and VIP access at nightclubs on multiple occasions. One such occasion was an October 2008 night after a home loss to Florida State, in which the booster took Hardin and others to Cameo Theater.

Corroborating accounts

• Yahoo! Sports acquired a copy of statements from Shapiro’s
American Express black card showing a $2,000 charge from Cameo Theatre
on Nov. 1, 2008. The charges were carried over from the night of Oct.
31.

• Yahoo! Sports acquired Shapiro’s October 2008 credit card statement, showing a charge to Cameo Theater the night of that season’s home loss to Florida State.

• Yahoo! Sports acquired a photo of Shapiro with Hardin, Phillips
and Moncur which the booster said was taken at Cameo during the
Halloween party, showing the four men dressed in their costumes.

In Shapiro’s words

• “Gavin Hardin was one of Randy Phillips’ like little brothers. He
ended up in a medical hardship situation. I think Gavin was from
Memphis. He was a really sweet kid. I liked the kid a lot. He was at my
house, played in pool tournaments, was out at the clubs with us a
number of times. [He] was always with Randy. Actually, I have a picture
of him, Eric Moncur and Randy, Halloween 2008. They acted as my
bodyguards. I was [the character from the movie] ‘Mailbu’s Most Wanted’ –
B-Rad.”
